Doubt we'll crack 38.5C. Be good if we hit 38C though.

Could be another hour or two before we peak. We had some late sun on Tuesday causing our peak temperature to be at 6pm 

Here it's a stable 33.6C with some mid level cloud coming through, preventing any substantial rises, however there is a clearer slot coming up from the south so I'm feeling increasingly confident we can go past the magic 34.3C here. 

I won't know officially if Sheffield breaks it's record until later, but the station I follow recorded identical figures to the Met Office yesterday when comparing Wednesday's daytime high 

 

Just heard rumble of thunder towards the Irish sea but fair bit of blue sky here

Temp 31.6, still rising

---

Grey cloud in central London now. Doesn’t seem to have cooled it down much, heat is radiating off every surface.

---

33.7C here under cloudless skies - gone up 0.7C in the last 20 minutes.

No records here in the north of Edinburgh as that annoying breeze from off the North Sea has got in the way yet again, thus causing the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank to drop slightly during the last hour to 26.1°C.

This means that my last recorded value of 26.9°C for that same station now looks like being our highest temperature of the day at that particular station.

Having said that though, I have noticed that a temperature of 30.1°C has been recorded at Swanston Weather Station in the south of Edinburgh (which is normally Jerry's local station when he is here) and there are a few stations within that vicinity which are currently recording 31°C.

This means that I still haven't yet to recorded a temperature of 30°C at any of my three local stations in the north of Edinburgh, I can at least now say that parts of Edinburgh have got above 30°C today and since I first joined this forum back in the summer of 2016, this is the first time that I have been able to say that.

Quite cool in my air conditioned office overlooking The Tower of London.

---

37.2C now. Highest so far today is 37.3C.

---

Cloud in Stratford now. I think the record is now out of reach at last in my part of the world

---

St James's Park 36.3c at 2pm

Incredible heat in Northern France. 40C in Dunkerque for heavens sake:

33.2c , which is incredible for my location on a hill.  Wasn't recording in 1990 but smashed anything since 1995.
Clouding over a bit now though.

---

Still no official 100F as far as I can see. Raining in central London too 😞

---

I have a 38C on my weather app, which means somewhere in London has tipped the scales of at least 37.5C

---

So disappointing isn’t it.

---

Sheffield weather station matching our current record of 34.3C. It's no an official station but like I said in my previous post it was bang in line with the official max temp yesterday so I'm excited that we're about to surpass our all-time record!

37 here in Horseheath.

 

---

My iPhone app has downgraded the max from 39 to 38... although oddly it still shows 39C as the hourly figures for 3pm and 4pm!

---

Paris has a new record of 40.6C

 

---

Actually 41.7C according to Meteo France. https://twitter.com/meteofrance/status/1154381430476222469/

Probably down to Stansted or Cambridge to hopefully get to 38 before the cloud and rain arrives then

---

Raining in Stratford.

---

34C now here.  I hope somewhere will reach offical 100F so that both July and August will see 100F.  40C seem very hard to get due to clouds reports, why they have to rush in too early and ruin it as normally they form late in the afternoon or evening not midday to early afternoon. Still sunny here.

No tweets from the Met Office for a while so I assume nothing exciting has happened since the last hourly readings.

How's that for humid and hot.

 

I'm in Petersfield and have been now for best part of an hour. Its very hot in places around the town but cooler towards thw pond, but even herr its still low 30's.
